Tennessee Titans Morning Links: I Changed My Hairstyle So Many Times Now, I Don't Know What I Look Like Edition

Chris Henry has about as good of an attitude about what's happened in his short term with the Titans as anyone could expect, and coaches say they can see an improvement in the former 2nd round pick's play. Still, it may not be enough to save his roster spot during training camp. He'll definitely be the most interesting name to watch when the cut dates come. One thing that could help Henry: the extra preseason game will mean more reps for the guys at the bottom of the depth chart, not the guys at the top, meaning he'll get his chance to prove he can do more than just run into the back of his linemen.

I know this has been hard on Chris Henry. I mean, this ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around... it's Life During Wartime by the Talking Heads for this week's Friday Jam!

Justin Gage is ready to build upon his career a very solid last half of 2008, after losing much of the early season to knee and hamstring injuries.

Ryan Moutan Mouton says his hamstring has completely healed, and he's ready to start full practices. Personally, Mouton better light the world on fire since he was the pick over D.J. Moore.

Jeff Fisher is approaching this season like it is his first, or so he says in this Q&A with The Sporting News.

Stephen Tulloch updated his blog with some thoughts on playing the Hall of Fame Game, and how much it means to him that one of his heros, Derrick Thomas, is being inducted.

Gary Estwick catches up with newly promoted Titans secondary coach, Marcus Robertson.

There are very few players in NFL history I'd rather go back and watch than the legendary Deacon Jones, so it's nice to see that he'll have is number 75 jersey retired by the Rams. Just take 5 minutes today and watch this. You'll fall in love with the NFL's best, and most entertaining, pass rusher in history.

It's Ryan Mouton, August!

You can’t help but be really excited about the offense this year.

Whoa look what I just came across on a Ravens blog

Sleepy Nashville won’t be mistaken for the Black Hole, but here are Mr. Mojo’s top-ten reasons the Titans are whack:

10. The NFL’s most schizophrenic uniforms

9. Kevin Dyson lands one yard short of Super Bowl glory…. Gee, thanks Titans, for guaranteeing us more exposure to Brenda Warner’s mullet

8. Albert Haynesworth performs the "Tennessee Stomp" on Andre Gurode’s head

7. Draft wastrel, Pacman Jones makes it rain…bullets

6. Vince Young’s suicide watch

5. Followed by the Vince Young "play me or free me" declaration – made to Towson television powerhouse, WMAR!?

4. Cortland Finnegan: A funny name for a complete jackass.

3. The training facility lock-out of Steve McNair

2. The Titans fire themselves up pregame by referencing two-by-fours and by showing Brian Billick’s locker room speech on the stadium scoreboard…and it backfires both times.

And now, the number one piece of evidence that the Titans are into some bad moonshine… Mr. Mojo has caught wind of some verbal sparring between that bearded garden gnome, Jeff Fisher, and his running backs, formerly known as Smash and Dash. It seems that Dash, A.K.A, Chris Johnson is tired of sharing the limelight and has renamed himself, "Every Coach’s Dream."

Seriously!

That's pretty tame

Compared to what I’ve said about the Shitbirds on T-Rac’s Posse.

Yeah, especially from the angle he took

When you read even more of the intro on the blog, he is saying the Titans are becoming the weirdest team in the NFL. So his points of how weird we are include:

1) we came a yard short to tying the Superbowl. Wow. How weird.

2) We tried to pump ourselves up with bulletin board material. And then still lost. wow. I bet no team has ever done that. Bulletin board material. Until the Titans, bulletin board material had a winning percentage of %1.000.

3) A guy with a “weird” name. Meanwhile, these names are normal: Haruki Nakamura, Haloti Ngata (ng combo is really common in names, let me tell ya), Ray Lewis

The others at least meet his criteria. But yeah. Not super creative. He also pulls from a 10 year window. You could make any franchise look “whack” if you pull random incidents from a 10 year window.
